b.

To determine

To find: The irony that is conveyed by the cartoon in the image.

Explanation of Solution

The irony that is conveyed by the cartoon is that the developed nations are on the top and the developing nations are far behind. There is a lot more gap between these two and these both seem to be separate.

c.

To determine

To explain: The attitude of the cartoonist for the way developed nations treat developing ones.

Explanation of Solution

The cartoonist’s attitude is that the developing nations treat themselves differently from the developing nations. Developed nations have made their own club and they remain together on the top; they have also made the way difficult for the developing countries to become developed. They have presented conditions for developing nations like the use of energy and resources and hence it becomes difficult for the developing nations to bridge the gap.
